CONGRATULATIONS, FEZANA The Federation of the Zoroastrian Association of North America (FEZANA) was registered in the State of Illinois, USA, on June 2, 1987 as a non-profit, religious and charitable organization. In the twenty-five years since them FEZANA has had many accomplishments. In July 1996, we undertook a "Strategic Planning" exercise (FEZANA Journal, Fall 1996) which identified four collective goals for the community and the organization. One of the goals was “a thousand points of light” aimed at preserving our community’s religious and cultural entity. This publication, “Eat, Live, Pray: A celebration of Zarathushti culture and cuisine” upholds this goal. Food plays a very important role in our Zarathushti psyche. We create all varieties of food for different occasions; special food for happy occasions and we also have food for the dead in our religious ceremonies. In the Summer, 2011 edition of the FEZANA Journal, Sarosh and Benafsha Khariwala together with Arnavaz Chubb, all in Melbourne, Australia, explored the concept of “Food as Our Identity”.

  • TEACHER OVERVIEW Water Conservation and Wildlife Ecosystems 6Th – 8Th Grade
    TEACHER OVERVIEW Water Conservation and Wildlife Ecosystems 6th – 8th Grade Nature Vision Student Packet The materials contained within this packet for students have been created by Nature Vision, an environmental education nonprofit organization that brings programming to schools and local greenspaces for over 70,000 PreK-12th grade students each year in King and Snohomish Counties. This curriculum is designed to foster an understanding of the importance of water and its integral role in supporting life and shaping our planet. Packets can be completed by students either independently from home, or with the help of an adult caregiver. Materials for each day of the week build on the previous days’ learning by offering a variety of activities that involve art, writing, and safe field exploration. These materials are provided to you by Cascade Water Alliance (Cascade). Cascade wants everyone to understand the importance of conserving and protecting our limited water resources. Cascade supports Nature Vision in the development and delivery of water education programs and we are happy to offer these materials to our friends in the community. Learn more about Cascade at cascadewater.org. This unit supports NGSS Performance Expectations across various disciplines, as well as supporting K-12 Integrated Environmental and Sustainability Standards. These are listed at the bottom of this page. Teachers will be supplied with PDF formats of materials to be emailed to families, or printed and sent to students to complete at home. In this packet, students will learn about salmon as a keystone species before seeing the key role salmon play in the energy transfer within complex food webs.

  • Pacific Salmon in the Canadian Arctic: Indicators of Change
    Pacific salmon in the Canadian Arctic: Indicators of change By Karen Marie Dunmall A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba In partial fulfilment of the requirements of a degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Biological Sciences University of Manitoba Winnipeg Copyright (©) 2018 by Karen Dunmall Dunmall, K.M. Abstract The Arctic is rapidly changing. Warming temperatures are both facilitating new opportunities and threatening biodiversity. Despite a global effort to conserve biodiversity, and the recent acceleration of related conservation initiatives in Canada, species are already responding to a changing Arctic. However, our abilities to assess these changes, including shifting distributions and their impacts, are limited. Therefore, innovative approaches are necessary to focus the vastness of the Arctic to key habitats, the breadth of species diversity to key indicators of change, and to integrate knowledge in order to predict and manage a future Arctic. In this thesis, I establish Pacific salmon Oncorhynchus spp. as indicators of ecosystem- level change in the Canadian Arctic. More broadly, however, I have developed tools and strategies to help assess the impending biodiversity crisis in the Arctic. I developed a novel model to successfully apply citizen science to monitor rapidly shifting biodiversity in the Canadian Arctic and I extend the breadth of community-based monitoring across species and their habitats to encompass broad-scale areas and fine-scale assessments. By aligning thermal tolerances with thermal regimes at critical groundwater spring oases, I developed a novel model that predicts watersheds vulnerable to colonizations by salmon, and identifies the associated risk of competition with native char.

Today, we have the host of the Endling podcast, Alexandra Kosmides and she's going to talk a bit about her work and we're going to discuss some particulars around that so welcome Alexandra. 00:00:39 Alexandra Hi 00:00:39 Kirsten I'm so excited and have been really amped about the show that we're recording today. For our listeners can you tell us a bit about what you do and what your podcast is about? 00:00:50 Alexandra Yeah, so I graduated with my bachelor's in Earth Environmental Science in 2017 and since then I've worked for state and provincial governments doing different types of field work. My first job was based around desert tortoise and wildlife monitoring in the Mojave Desert and my most recent employment was with the province of Alberta doing a lot of disease research with whirling disease, which is a fish disease that affects salmonids and is spread by this thing that's essentially a jellyfish or in the jellyfish family. So it's a really fascinating thing. And so that's kind of what I've been doing and I started endling because I feel like everybody when you're young is really fascinated with dinosaurs and that's how you learn about extinction, but there's no conversation about what has been happening that's closer to us. And the sixth extinction is currently happening.

The political realities underlying interna- tional law - factors which influence its development, administration, and recognition in practice by nations - are rarely examined. This arti- cle attempts to provide some insights into these realities by examining two instances in which minority group interests, i.e., those of the native peoples of the United States and Canada, have influenced these nations' positions vis a vis important international fishing treaties.

  • The Effects of Altered Diet on the Health of the Karuk People
    The Effects of Altered Diet on the Health of the Karuk People Kari Marie Norgaard, Ph.D. Submitted to Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Docket # P-2082 on Behalf of the Karuk Tribe of California November 2005 The Effects of Altered Diet on the Health of the Karuk People Executive Summary The Karuk people are intimately dependent upon salmon both physically and culturally. Salmon has been both the primary food and the basis of the prosperous subsistence economy of the Karuk people since time immemorial. The elimination of traditional foods including multiple runs of salmon, Pacific Lamprey, Sturgeon and other aquatic species has had extreme adverse health, social, economic, and spiritual effects on Karuk people. With the loss of the most important food source, Spring Chinook salmon in the 1970s, the Karuk people hold the dubious honor of experiencing one of the most recent and dramatic diet shifts of any Native tribe in the United States. This report details the health effects of the loss of traditional foods on the Karuk Tribe. Physical health is linked to food quantity and quality, culture, economic conditions and mental health. In addition to data on disease rates, this report addresses the broader social, economic and cultural impacts of the loss of traditional food on Karuk tribal health. Particular attention is paid to salmonid species because of their central importance as food, their remarkably recent and dramatic decline, and the link made by fisheries scientists between salmonid species decline and the presence of the Klamath River dams currently up for re-licensing under FERC. This report expands the documentation and analysis of the Preliminary Report released in 2004.

The freshwater habitat of Pacific salmon has been studied extensively, but substantially less attention has been paid to the ocean. Studies of Pacific salmon in the ocean were difficult until suitable trawl gear was developed as recent as over a decade ago. The studies provided new insights into the processes that regulate early marine survival as well as overall marine survival. Recently-developed stock identification techniques can be linked to climate and ocean data to determine how stocks that rear in different areas of the North Pacific are affected by regional variability in ocean habitat.
